Liu Jieyou, a princess of the Chu royal house, was once an insignificant nobody. Because her grandfather had tried to rebel, the Chu clan lived under suspicion and was bullied by everyone. To save her family from ruin, Jieyou endured hardship in silence, entered the imperial palace, and fought the Xiongnu. Just as her name became known throughout the land, she received an imperial decree: she was to marry into Wusun to secure peace. She married the King of Wusun three times in her life. “I, Liu Jieyou, am a daughter of the Han. Since I have no choice left in this life, I will give my life back to the Han! I did not marry a king. I married this vast realm!” Yet the dashing young man smiled brightly. “Then I will give you this realm for a lifetime, peaceful and prosperous. How does that sound?”
